A programme for explorers, adventurers and men and women facing challenge and risk.
How much do you know about survival? Could you stay alive if a walking or a sailing trip went wrong?
Few people have survived as long as Maralyn and Maurice Bailey , who spent 117 days adrift in a tiny life-raft after their yacht sank in the Pacific. A special film report aboard their new boat before they set off again - to Patagonia.
Anthony Greenbank, author, mountaineer, demonstrates some techniques for survival to a group of boys from WESTMINSTER SCHOOL on the eve of their expedition to Baffin Island.
